Place all ingredients except the meat and eggs in a large bowl and mix gently but thoroughly together. Add extra salt and pepper if needed. Add eggs and meat and mix again. Form into an oblong shape and place on a baking paper lined cookie sheet. Bake at 180*C 350*F for about 1 1/2 hrs. I always roast some vegetables at the same time to serve alongside, and make full use of the oven. Roasted mushroom, carrots, and potatoes are nice.
